Thunder snow, is something that didn't use to happen too often. I think you warm weather nearby for it to happen.

Why did they edit out the actual thunder sounds?

Edit: Wikipedia seems to answer both questions. It's very rare and it can be quiet.


One unique aspect of thundersnow is that the snowfall acts as an acoustic suppressor of the thunder. The thunder from a typical thunderstorm can be heard many miles away, while the thunder from thundersnow can usually only be heard within a two to three mile radius from the lightning. In the United States, March is the peak month of formation, and on average, only 6.3 events are reported per year.[3]
